Title: Radiation Portal Monitor System and Method
Inventor: MAKELA MARK F
IPC: G01T1/00
Filed: 2007-10-26
Granted: 2012-08-16
Abstract: Techniques, apparatus and systems for detecting particles such as muons. In one implementation, a monitoring system has a cosmic ray-produced charged particle tracker with a plurality of drift cells. The drift cells, which can be for example aluminum drift tubes, can be arranged at least above and below a volume to be scanned to thereby track incoming and outgoing charged particles, such as cosmic ray-produced muons, whilst also detecting gamma rays. The system can selectively detect devices or materials, such as iron, lead, gold and/or tungsten, occupying the volume from multiple scattering of the charged particles passing through the volume and can also detect any radioactive sources occupying the volume from gamma rays emitted therefrom. If necessary, the drift tubes can be sealed to eliminate the need for a gas handling system. The system can be employed to inspect occupied vehicles at border crossings for nuclear threat objects.

Title: Filled, baked crispy snack having a high moisture content
Inventor: KINO ALAN JOHN
IPC: A23L35/00
Filed: 2009-02-19
Granted: 2015-04-23
Abstract: FILLED, BAKED CRISPY SNACK HAVING A HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT A shelf-stable, filled, baked crispy snack which possesses a crispy textured casing and a moist, soft textured filling over a prolonged period of time is obtained by formulating a casing which when baked has a high glass temperature (Tg) at a high moisture content. Increasing the degree of starch gelatinization to increase the Tg may be achieved during baking and by the addition of a pregelatinized starch. The high Tg baked casing permits the use of a high moisture content filler in high amounts to provide a shelf-stable substantial textural dichotomy in the filled, baked, crispy snack. The filled, baked snack exhibits an unexpectedly high resistance to deformation or peak force at high baked casing moisture contents. The baked snack is ready-to-eat out of the packaging and does not have to be toasted, microwaved or further baked, cooked, or heated for consumption, or to achieve a crisp textured casing.

Granted: 2013-01-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for removing fine-grained or dust-like solids from a container that is to be pressurised or that is pressurised. Said container is fitted with a double-walled removal cone or funnel. The aim of the invention is to avoid using, in particular, porous materials such as sinter metals or similar, whilst providing good conveying properties in the transfer funnel without reducing the size of the grain of the respective material. Particle-charged gas for conveying can be also used. This is achieved due to the fact that the gas outlet opening is larger than the largest particle of the removed solids and that said gas outlet openings (4) are provided with a tube support or gas supply channel (4a) extending into the inside of the annular chamber (6) and forming at least one angle having an imaginary horizontal plane and that the gas supply channel (4a) is part of a retaining device (12) for preventing solids from trickling into the annular chamber (6).

Granted: 2013-10-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining damaged or faulty points, in particular weak points with a reduced material thickness in a membrane-type, non-electrically conducting or only minimally conducting structural seal (3) having a high electrical dielectric strength in comparison to air, said seal provided with an electrically conducting layer (6) disposed inside or outside of the structural seal (3), said layer extending substantially over the full surface of the structural seal, there being an electric test voltage applied to said layer. To establish said damaged, faulty and/or weak points, another electrically conducting layer (7) that is electrically separated from the electrically conducting layer (6) by the structural seal and that extends substantially over the entire surface of the structural seal is used. The level of the test voltage between the electrically conducting layers (6, 7) under voltage is selected such that when at least one non-electrically conducting damaged, faulty and/or weak point is present in the structural seal, the electrical dielectric strength is surpassed and an electric arc or spark forms at the location of the damaged, faulty and/or weak point, wherein the test voltage is selected to be less than a destructive test voltage at which an electric breakdown would result in an undamaged and/or un-weakened structural seal corresponding to the structural seal (3) to be tested, thereby forming an electric arc or spark. Also claimed is a correspondingly designed structural seal (3).

Granted: 2015-02-26
Abstract: Described herein is the discovery that cell and tissue survival can be dramatically increased following radiation exposure through inhibition of the interaction between TSP-1 and CD47. This effect is shown using antisense molecules, peptides, and antibodies, which can now be used as radioprotectant agents. These agents find application in minimizing, reducing and/or preventing tissue damage following intentional and accidental radiation exposure, as well as increasing the therapeutic efficacy of radiation therapies by protecting non-target tissue from incidental radiation damage and by increasing tumor ablation following radiation treatment.
